Billiary colic (pain) is a pain that typically starts under the right ribcage and irradiates around right side of the abdomen up to the back. The pain is severe, sharp and intermittent with increasing and decreasing amounts of intensity. Billiary colic can be followed by nausea and vomiting. You can request an abdominal ultrasound to examine the gall bladder and other compact abdominal organs (liver, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, ovaries etc.) to identify the possible causes of pain.
